Meet Devlin!

Good day, my name is Devlin. I'm a nice mix of -- beagle? lab? golden? -- take your pick. Just a nice little tan dog. Whatever I am, I'm a very nice boy just about 6 months old and 26 pounds, but likely still have some growing to do. I'm a happy-go-lucky fellow with a smile and tail wag for everyone I meet. I get along with other dogs and like to play too. I'm hoping to find my forever home with someone who won't leave me alone for very long hours and will take me to puppy school so I can be the best boy I can be. I'm very smart and will learn quickly. I'm new to this Adopt-A-Pet program, so I'll write more after I settle in a bit and get more comfortable. My adoption fee of $300 includes: vet exam, negative heartworm test, flea preventative, DHPP (distemper-parvo combo) vaccination, bordetella vaccination, rabies vaccination, deworming and neutering.



Miranda


Miranda is a very sweet black and white female, estimated to be about 4 years old. It doesn't show well in the photos, but she is an unusual wavy-coated type of cat, like a Rex. Her photos don't do her justice - she is a "must see". She's a sweetheart of a gal that enjoys attention. She loves people and what makes her the happiest is when she can sit on your lap and be petted. It takes her a while to get accustomed to other pets in the house but with time she becomes more friendly towards them. She is a typical people's cat. She doesn't hide, and she likes to explore the house. Besides her charming personality, her unique fur is just amazing. She will be a welcome addition to any type of household. Miranda's adoption fee of $115 includes: Vet exam, flea preventative, feline leukemia/FIV test, rabies vaccination, FVRCP (distemper combo) vaccination, deworming, microchip and spaying.

Who We Are

ADOPT-A-PET is an all-volunteer not-for-profit humane organization dedicated to saving the lives of lost, abandoned, neglected, abused or otherwise homeless dogs, cats, puppies and kittens in the Chicagoland area.
ADOPT-A-PET provides a safe refuge for each animal until a permanent loving home is found.

ADOPT-A-PET provides all necessary medical care for every animal. All animals are health-checked, vaccinated, treated for any medical problems. All adult animals are spayed/neutered before adoption or a participating vet's certificate is included in the fee for kittens or puppies too young to be altered before adoption.

ADOPT-A-PET makes educational visits to schools and community organizations to promote proper pet care, compassion for animals, spaying and neutering.

Adopting a Friend

ADOPT-A-PET adopts pets to Chicagoland families and adults, not to children, teenagers, or college students living in a dorm. Ideally, all members of the family should be present to meet the pet and the ADOPT-A-PET Volunteer.
